Appendix A Interface Changes
in the Solaris Trusted Extensions Release

The following tables list every interface change, the current man page,
and the reason for the change. Changes can be one of the following:

No change – The interface
is originally a Trusted Solaris interface, and has not significantly changed for
this release.

Remains unsupported – Due
to security issues, the interface is not supported in Solaris Trusted Extensions software.

Removed - Due to changes
in the architecture, the interface was removed. A None entry
in the second column indicates a removed interface. The Note column contains Removed or an explanation.

Replaced – The interface
is renamed.

Has new options - For a Solaris interface,
the interface provides options that are specific to Trusted Extensions software.
For an interface that is unique to Trusted Extensions, the Solaris Trusted Extensions options
are different from the options in Trusted Solaris software.

Obsolete – A Trusted Solaris interface
has been replaced with a Trusted Extensions interface with a new name and new
parameters. Many label interfaces have been replaced with interfaces that
hide the internals of the label. Although recompiled programs that use the
obsolete interfaces might work, programs and scripts should be written to
use the new interfaces.

Support removed – Support
for a feature, such as CMW labels, was removed entirely, or removed from this
interface.

Useinterface– Use an equivalent Solaris interface.

Works as in Solaris OS – Due
to changes in the architecture, Solaris Trusted Extensions software does not modify the Solaris OS interface.
